I was so proud to represent the Big Sky state in the Ms. US Continental 2000 pageant, that I intend to compete again next year! It is the only event for women, single or married, between the ages of 24 and 60.
Thank you to all of the wonderful people and businesses that supported me at the Ms. US Continental Pageant! I had a great time, met a group of wonderful and accomplished ladies.
If you’ve never competed in a pageant before, the following quote by Audrey Hepburn tells why I compete, and it also exemplifies a true pageant winner. **********************
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let someone you love run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman with passing years-only grows!”
The preceding was written by Audrey Hepburn regarding Beauty Tips for women. The Ms. US pageant was held at the "Entertainment Capital of the World," LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. I joined the other state representatives, as we gathered together in Vegas to have fun with family and friends and develop wonderful new friendships. My flight arrove on Friday, October 15th, 1999 and I competed for the title and crown of Ms. US 2000 on Monday, October 18th, 1999.
Competition consisted of Private Interview which was worth 50% of the score, evening gown and aerobic wear which occur on stage and accounted for 25% each. I'm really rather pleased to be in a pageant which choses to focus on aerobic wear rather than swimsuits. It just makes more sense. There is no performing talent in this pageant, so instead more of the score is based on the private interview. To find out more about this exciting event, call or write the pageant headquarters.
”For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
